Currently, the time is 1 A.M in the morning and I am beginning to feel
wheezy after taking my narcotic sleep medication. I take the pills
because they reduce my sleep interrupting nightmares that happen so
frequently.
While trying to catch some much needed rest in
preparation for my mother to come out Colorado and my Wife's return from
Wisconsin, I have stayed up late each
night cleaning a little bit more than I normally would have. While
taking one of my elaborate breaks, (as Jillian knows, I work for five
minutes and rest for 10), I stumbled upon a book which I began reading
almost four months ago. The book is titled "The God Delusion" by Richard
Dawkins. I know that by typing that man's name, I just arrived on my
fellow friends' list, hate mail recipients list. Some of you are clearly
already turned away by what I have to say, yet others may find what I
am bullshitting through to be of some value. Either way, I wish for all
of you super religious people who choose to stop and debate a topic half
way through, to read my entire essay prior to actually commenting.
Although I did just put that disclaimer in my work, I think about 75% of
the christian population will forget it and make some naive comment
about a certain section in my essay, rather than the whole thing.
Years
ago, I became a victim of something that is almost never heard of. It's
a type of abuse where elders support it, and children will do anything
to be in it. This type of abuse is brought on by years of brainwashing
in a degree that only a 26 year old who has wasted many years of his
life listening to can speak of. This type of abuse is neither physical,
verbal, or emotional. Nay, it is religious abuse and it has become
increasingly popular amongst the evangelicals and fundamentalists'
(Strap a bomb to my belly and take out as many people who do not agree
with our teachings) type of people. Funny how things turned out, from my
childhood to now. I was once so brainwashed that I "was on fire for the
lord". Good thing I wised up and realized that I was wasting my money
to give a man a house who did nothing more than reject the poor (which
my mother thought he was acting on god's behalf when he(the pastor),
said no to her requests to help her with a bill she was behind on. After
all, it was the money she had given to an offering.
I am not really
into divulging my entire abuse, because most of it is very ignorant
propaganda that my church willing placed on each child. Just watch the
documentary "Jesus Camp". Some of these children walk around with tape
over their mouths to certify that they are not controlled by themselves,
but rather a superficial being. Too bad that rule didn't apply to the
NHL when a player high sticked another. The natural defense could be
that god told me to do it and I am his messenger. Or when the drunk
driver walks away clean from an accident that killed a mother and father
along with their three children. Could you call that natural selection?
You see, it has been things like this that actually lead me to believe
that I wasted portions of my life pondering a god that isn't real. Well
then, how about the Euphoria when you are so called "saved". I found
that same feeling present when I closed on my home and became the first
member of my family to own a home. I guess a salesman has one goal in
mind to close the sale; to make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside
before they hand you a doggy bag full of dog shit.
It's okay though,
as I have rebounded well to lead an un-blind folded life. I have been
given chances to diversify myself and see what people are really made
of. After making comments similar to what I have already written, I
found myself on another page being bombarded with hilarious questions
such as this one: if there is no god, then why would people rally around
one another to help each other no matter what the circumstances? Well
my dumb friends, I have to tell you that our country is currently trying
to rally around the mortgage prices that gave many people the euphoria
they felt when they were saved or when they closed on that huge
McMansion.
Finally, I have seen the left behind series so many times
that I just want to puke. The fear propaganda involved with it is
absolutely ridiculous. To think that some man is going to come around,
wipe out a Generation and then revive himself to be killed by Jesus, is
just phony. Well to tell you the truth, I think it may have already
happened. Mussolini believed that he must hold the upper hand among the
people so that they will "craft his way". Upon his escape, he was
killed. Maybe he was then resurrected as Adolf Hitler. After all, hitler
told his prisoners that they would be treated to royalty and then sent
them to a place where they would get a nice warm shower. Too bad that
shower was a cyanide gas waiting to annihilate them. I guess if that
were the case, then the United States of America would be Jesus. As we
ended world war two and conquered the empire that held the world
hostage. Maybe that's why we are so into spending money on places like
new life church to watch them have a stage complete with an arena size
scoreboard so that if you cannot see the preacher, you can watch him on
the jumbo trons. Welcome to America, land of the free, home of Jesus.
